HAWA Security Systems Inc.

Determining  the security needs of ones business is perhaps one of the most important business decisions you will ever have to make if you own, or operate a business in Liberia. If  you are in a non profit or government organization, you face the same dilemma. Therefore, the benefit of selecting the proper  security firm can be daunting. What should you look for.

We have taken the steps to assist you here in your search for quality services. The basic question for some may be why use contract security services. Here are some reasons for you:-

All "headaches" associated with recruiting, training, and supervision of the security officers are assumed by HAWA  Security.

Those factors affecting scheduling, (e.g., sickness, absenteeism, vacations, holidays, and special needs) are filled without problems and without the added overtime costs usually related to work.

Fringe benefits are paid for by HAWA .
All uniforms and equipment are supplied to the security officers by HAWA .

Insurance, payroll taxes, and all administrative costs are assumed by HAWA  Security,.

Total costs are generally 20% to 40% less than the operation of a proprietary force.

HAWA  Security,  through its management personnel, bring years of specialized experience to bear on client challenges.

Our expertise is evident in the surveys and studies we perform prior to the assignment of an officer. Post Orders are prepared by HAWA  Security,  and the client to best serve their specific needs.

HAWA  Security,  through its Operations and Quality Control Departments, brings to bear an active supervisory structure.

With contract service, the possibility of collusion or fraternization detrimental to sound security is greatly diminished.

Specialized insurance coverage carried by HAWA  Security, is designed to meet any contingency or liability, which might arise from the actions or inactions of the security force.

For those companies without a full-time security manager, where the personnel or facility manager operates security with one hand while attending to his primary function with the other, the contract service releases valuable executive time and efforts.

Officers may be transferred or replaced upon request by the client for any reason.

Scheduling for security can be flexible in order to accommodate client needs.
